Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero
“Asters are purple, there‘s purple ink/Purple‘s more popular than you think…”

“Redford?/I go rob/Creamed corn, no cob/Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, go sob/Your Saab?/Oh, God”

"...and Prairie huddled down in back, hanging on, wishing they could wake into something more benevolent and be three different people, only some family in a family car, with no problems that couldn't be solved in half an hour of wisecracks and commercials, on their way to a fun weekend at some beach."
Thomas Pynchon, Vineland
“And silence is danger, but it’s not quiet here/So why you scared?”
Pavement, “Strings of Nashville”
